Genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable for Inspiron
This genuine Dell OEM ribbon cable connects the USB/SD card I/O board to the motherboard in compatible laptops. It fits Inspiron 3421, 5421, 3437, 5437 and Latitude 3440 systems. The part replaces Dell numbers 31P3J and NJT90. Buyers needing a different board connector or a longer flex will not find a match here.
Fits inside the chassis as a direct board-to-board
The cable sits between the I/O board and the mainboard, requiring no extra brackets or adapters. It restores USB and SD card functionality when the original flex is damaged. Installers must open the base cover and route the flex through the existing retention clips. Builders working on non-listed 14-inch models cannot use this part.
Cable only — no screws.
The package contains the ribbon cable exactly as pictured, with no mounting hardware or driver media. Re-use the original screws and latches from the laptop during reassembly. No firmware update or configuration utility is supplied or required. Shops looking for a complete I/O board assembly will need a separate part.
